Ruling over the Underworld is my specialty. Yes, I have a three-headed dog. Yes, I "kidnapped" my queen, and no, I do not have fire for hair... that Disney movie really did me wrong. If you haven't guessed it, I'm Hades and I'm here to help give you an inside look into my Kingdom. There is a lot to do down here in the Underworld and it's all a matter of serving justice... the real sense of justice, not the one you all practice in your systems... You may be wondering how I have the time to be giving you this inside look. Well, truth is, I have some help down here to keep matters organized and prevent me from becoming overwhelmed by all that must be done. Overwhelmed and I are not good together...
I believe that you choose your own fate; your actions determine your ending. Therefore, the stories I present to you will be interactive. You'll have the ability to choose your own path. That being said, your decisions may give you different perspectives on classic stories you may already know about me... they may even lead you down a path of changing reality... your fate lies entirely within your own hands. I'll even give you the chance to render some judgement about the future of souls that arrive here. You'll get a sense of what it feels like to be one of my trusted Judges of the Underworld.
First, I'll give you the real story of my origin. There are a lot of views out there that present me as resentful of my history, but honestly I'm just thankful to be out of my dad's stomach...
Next, I'll show you how I came to gain a partner in this demanding work. All I have to say is I had Zeus' permission. Oh, and Persephone isn't trapped down here miserable as some would think.
Finally, I'll give you that chance to act as one of my unfailing Judges. If you do well enough... I may recruit you.
Enjoy your adventures in the Underworld... they say no one who enters here can leave freely...
Well, unless you have help from Hercules because that guy is just a wild card.
